Watch Burning Man Live!

Burning Man 2011, the week-long festival of free spirits, starts on August 29 and ends on September 5.

 

This annual event is held in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada (on an ancient lakebed, known as the playa). On Saturday evening a large wooden effigy is burnt and this is the ritual from which the name of the festival came.

This year tickets sold out before the event (on July 24) for the first time in the festival history and 50,000 of attendees are expected.

 

Burning Man is about community and self-expression.

Burning Man began as a bonfire ritual on the summer solstice.

 

Now the project is focused on community, artwork (mutant vehicle), absurdity, decommodification and revelry.

Bicycles and tricycles are very popular, especially mountain bikes.

Burning Man has ten principles: radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, leaving no trace (ecologically), participation, immediacy.

The impact of this event has been so profound that a culture has formed around it. Burning Man has over two thousand volunteers who work before, during and after the festival.
